In the prologue section of my game, the player fights a fictional violent middle eastern cult. The cultists are your typical cannon fodder ak-47 wielding enemies in order to get the player attuned to the game before the more difficult enemies ar introduced.
The cultists shout alerts and taunt the player in a middle eastern language, I don't actually mind which one because the country in which the conflict takes place is not specified. So I am looking for a voice actor who has a middle eastern background.
The recordings will need to be made through a high quality microphone (AKG C1000S or similar), since all of the other voice acting is recorded in high quality and a tinny voice from a cheap electret microphone would stick out like a sore thumb.
There will be no payment for this, since the project is a non-profit one, but the part does not include very many lines. It seems like a long shot but hopefully someone will be able to help me out!

Lol, not sure what you mean by middle eastern voice. I'm of arabian descent, pretty much 8% arabian, 92% a variety of other asian races. So is my brother.
I'm really not sure about what you mean by middle eastern language, there's about as many as them as there are european languages, lol. But I do speak a few words of arabic and my gf used to teach kindergarten arabic, but probably doesn't know any swear words or anything. Since its a bit part, I could do it more naturally in Malay, which is not at all an arabian language.. but I don't think most people could tell the difference between a west asian language and a southeast asian one
Only problem seems to be the microphone. I have a decent headset which has about the same sound input quality as a phone.

I love to do accents. It's my favorite thing to do-- I'm fairly good at it. (Horn toot alert) But the Arabian accent is my fourth-best probably. And I don't know if my mic sounds good... I oughta have my friend do it for ya, he has the most hilarious arabian accent I have ever heard.

All the middle eastern voice actors are too busy playing terrorists and cab drivers.
Oh, I tried it with my headfones. My voice sounds a bit screwy, probably not what you want Ben, give some examples of the voice sample quality you're already using.
